Food dyes to be phased out by Trump administration in latest round of bans
Fox News
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy and FDA Commissioner Martin Makary announced a phase-out of all petroleum-based synthetic dyes in the nation’s food supply on Tuesday at a press conference.
"Today the FDA is taking action to remove petroleum-based food dyes," said Makary as he kicked off the press conference. He added, "For the last 50 years, American children have increasingly been living in a toxic soup of synthetic chemicals. The scientific community has conducted a number of studies raising concerns about the correlation between petroleum-based synthetic dyes and several health conditions, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, cancer, genomic disruption, and GI issues."
Makary outlined a number of steps that will be taken on food dyes. The move on Tuesday marks "a major step forward in the administration’s efforts to Make America Healthy Again," according to a media advisory.
